Hey guys.

Looking for some advice in building out a track car.
I am pretty experienced but I am not a Mustang expert per se. I've driven a few around the track but they were students' cars.

I am trying to decide which year(s) to get/not get and whether it's worth holding out for a PP1/PP2 or not? Premium? Mag ride? Option 401?

My plan is to swap in a T56XL Mag that I have laying around from a different build and I would like to keep the engine fairly stock except for bolt ons like headers and other supporting mods. The plan is to remove as much weight as possible and work with suspension and aero. With that said - is it worth getting any of the factory packages or not?

Many thanks
